Gentlemen — The Comn|ittoe ( o further tho election of Mr. Domett wish to-.tftko ail early opportunity of making known the reasons Which in their opiuion recommend that gentleman to the confidence of the constituency. In the first place, he is a man of known and proved ability — of ability, it is believed, unsurpassed in the colony. In the second placo, he is a man experienced in the conduct of oflice, having filled for several years the offices of Colonial Secretary and Civil Secretary, with the greatest credit to himself, and to the entire satisfaction fo his official superiors. In tlie third plac?, because he is a man of expanded and liberal views on all political subjects, an ardent friend of civil and religious liberty, an uncompromising opponent of everything that is not manly and straightforward. **■ In the fourth place, because it is believed that if the choice of the Legislature should indicate him as one of the Responsible Ministers, he will be prepared to give Jus services to tlie conduct of tho Executive business of tlie colony. Now, the Committee wish to call the .attention of the electors to the bearing of this circumstance upon the interests of the province. We all know what has happened yithin the last year — that lhe Land Revenues o/ th,e Middle Island have been Jtjiken to purchase land from 'the natives in the North Island. The Constitution Act allows the Governor to .do this to any extent he thinks proper. But the operation of Responsible Government will bo this : that the Governor will be guided by the advice of his "responsible advisers. Those advisers, therefore, or in .other words, the Executive Officers of the Government, will bo in this matter tho Governor, and will possess J,he power of applying any amount they nmy think proper of the Land Revenue of Nelson, Canterbury, and .Otago to purchase land from the natives in Wellington and Auckland. What, then, gentlemen, will be the Result, if the members of the Government are representatives of constituencies of the North Island? Alas, then, for Nelson ! No land fund for public : roads falling into disrepair : no fresh ones jnade : no emigration : no progress : the money 4?om our industry and paid for land bought by our own industrious settlers, taken away to purchase land for others in a different island. But supposing one of our Nelson members to be an Olficer, and to have a considerable .share in the ordering of these matters, is it likely that wo shall be robbed in this way ? Of course not, Gentlemen. Our interests will then bo consulted at the Tery fountain-head of authority, and justice will be done. To any man of the most ordinary reflection, who has observed the currentyrf-' events, it must be gbvious that the great object of the constituencies of New Zealand is to send to the next Parliament men of ability, and men who, if called upon to act as Ministers, will be able to accept oflice, and to do good service to their Provinces. This Committee sincerely believes that such a man is fcp be found in Mr. Domett. His ability is xmiversally acknowledged ; and, having devoted his talents principally to the service of Government, there appears to b*o no obstacle to his accepting any office that the suffrages of his fellow-colonists, and the summons of tlie Governor, might call upon him to accept. Is it not iJicn, Gentlemen, of importance to have such a man to plead for us ; a man not only of great weight in the Legislature, but fully qualified to bear high oflice m the Executive. But some persons may say, he is not a Nelson settler. Those who say so do not know Mr. Domett. Let them ask tjffe' old settlers, who kjiow him, or let them ask any one to point to an occasion when he did not help us if he could. This Committee, therefore, confidently recommend liirn. In the fifth place, because he is in every sense of jiie word a Nelson settler, a man whose sympathies j arc with this settlement, and who, if he were a rich man, would return to-morrow and live among us. Gentlemen, the next Legislature will have tho destinies of New Zealand in its hands in no ordinary degree ; and we shall have ourselves to blame ii\ at £0 important a crisis, we elect men of small ability "and deficient judgment, and above all, if we do not ourselves tlie benefit of aijr excellent chance of being represented in the Executive Councils of the polony, if we accomplish tliis, we shall bo all right ; if we fail in it, we shall be al/yrong. — Jiy order of the JComim'ttcc, ID. M.onro, Chairinau.
